Degree Rankine

Tj = gas temperature, absolute, in degrees Rankine, at the upstream pressure, determined from the following relauonship ... [Pg.455]

R = temperature, absolute, degrees Rankin r = rc = ratio of back pressure to upstream pressure, P2/Pi, or critical pressure ratio, Pc/Pi rj = relative humidity, percent S = maximum allowable stress in vessel wall, from ASME Code, psi., UCS-23.1-23.5 UHA-23, UHT-23... [Pg.539]

Note that in this example a value of 459.7° was added to degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankin. A less accurate but more commonly used value of 460° will be applied throughout most of the remainder of this book. [Pg.166]

DEGREE RANKINE UR). One unit of temperature on the Rankine temperature scale, which is related to the Fahrenheit temperature scale by. Temperature (degrees Rankine) equals Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) plus 459.69. [Pg.1643]

Characterization factor the UOP characterization factor K, defined as the ratio of the cube root of the molar average boiling point, TB, in degrees Rankine (°r = °F + 460), to the specific gravity at 60°F/60°F ... [Pg.424]

T = Absolute temperature of the fluid at the valve inlet, degrees Rankine (°F + 460). [Pg.25]

Tw = Vessel wall temperature, degrees Rankine. The API recommended maximum wall temperature of 11000 F for carbon steel vessels. [Pg.28]
